Libraries - Movies vs Shows

[Venson]

Hey there,

Ok thats a lot to unpack.
The difference between Movies and Series is twofold, first the internal parser expects series to named in a totally different way then movies and second jellyfin uses totally different metadata providers for either. That is the reason why if you throw series style media into a movies library, they get ignored as they dont match the expected naming scheme nor have any metadata.

Mixed Libraries are a mess and we generally do not recommend using them. Just ignore their existence.

Also just to clarify things a but, do you access your media via a network share? because if so, the real time file notification system will not work and you have to use something like AutoScan
